Q: still cant find the drain tube on the firewall looking down from under the hood. do i have to get underneath and look up joe wrote @bgtnsc05-.ops.worldnet.att.net joe wrote tom lawrence tnloaswpraemnmcien5g@earthlink.net wrote in i seem to rmember something here about a blocked drain tube is it easy to find/clean or should i just take it to dealer look on the bottom of the firewall passenger side just above the wheel well for a little rubber 90 elbow. this is the drain. snake a pipe cleaner up in there and see if you can unclog it. the 03 at least mine doesnt have the elbow - its a straight pipe that exits the firewall horizontally. this is part of the problem in that the drip from the drain can be blown back into the cab as the truck is moving. the solution was to seal the area around the drain to prevent the drip from coming back in. joe 03 dakota 5.9 r/t cc 93 mustang 5.0 lx hatch with a few goodies thanks. i looked with a flashlight last night and didnt see anything similar to a drain tube. bottom of firewall just above wheel well ill try to look today before it gets dark. mine comes out of the firewall and simply ends; it sticks out only about 1/2 or so. if you follow the tranny dipstick down behind the passenger valve cover you should be able to see the tube poking out of the firewall. again note that clogging isnt necessarily the issue - its the water exiting the tube that gets blown back into the cab that causes the problem. because my tube wasnt clogged water never entered the cab unless the truck was moving over 30-40mph. that was fast enough for the airflow down there to push the water back around the tube and into the cab behind the firewall. .
